stopping interface on boot

[mikejd]

Ihave an installation of Mandrake 10.0 which has been working OK. I have just changed to broadband using router/modem which is also OK. However, on boot the sequence hangs.

When I tried verbose mode I found it was stopping on trying to load interface ppp0. I tried interactive mode and got the computer to boot by not loading this interface.

How do I remove this interface from the boot sequence, which file do I need to change?

TIA

Im not 100% sure but it could be in the mandrake control centre under system and then services. If listed just un-tick the 'on boot' option. Though this sounds llike it maybe coming from somewhere else...

I tried this but it doesn't appear to be listed, at least not as ppp0.

I'm don't know where it is in Mandrake/driva but you should find a net config which lists your devices (such as eth0, wlan0, etc...), you may find ppp0 ticked for on boot in there.

Problem solved, so just for the record here's how.

Looking in messages found that the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 was called. Checked it and found entry for ppp0 on boot, changed Yes to No.
